Red Seat Ventures, the creator-led media company owned by Fox Corporation, has launched “Mostly Sheenius,” a weekly interview podcast hosted by Charlie Sheen, with Michael Douglas as its first guest. The premiere episode is available November 12 at 7 a.m. ET.

The show puts Sheen, one of the most interviewed celebrities of the past several decades, in the interviewer’s chair. He will speak with well-known figures about the moments, challenges, and successes that shaped their lives and careers, and will share his own stories along the way, according to Red Seat Ventures.

The first episode covers Hollywood, Douglas’ new book, and the two actors’ work together on the film “Wall Street.” Upcoming guests include Rob Lowe, Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, Bobby Lee, Denise Richards, and Jennifer Grey.

“Mostly Sheenius” is available on all major podcast platforms, with full video episodes and exclusive content on select digital channels. STRAC Media produces the show, with Sheen and Todd Christopher serving as executive producers. Eric Pearce, Red Seat Ventures’ EVP of Creator Operations, executive produces for the company.

A Different Model

The Sheen show follows a different model from Red Seat Ventures’ recent run of signings. Over the past year, the company has struck ad sales and distribution partnerships with established shows: Ashley Flowers’ “Crime Junkie” in October 2025, Tony Hinchcliffe’s “Kill Tony” in April 2026, and Caleb Hammer’s “Financial Audit” in September.

“Mostly Sheenius,” by contrast, is being built largely from scratch, an approach closer to Red Seat Ventures’ original mandate of constructing a creator business rather than taking on an established audience. Founded in 2015, the company began by helping radio and television personalities build digital businesses through podcast infrastructure, YouTube strategy, and ad sales. Its roster also includes Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly.

Fox acquired Red Seat Ventures in February 2025. The company now works with more than 40 creators and debuted this year at No. 4 on the Edison Podcast Ranker by total reach with roughly 60 shows, a smaller catalog than most networks operating at that level.

That concentration is intentional. Chris Peterson, Red Seat Ventures’ VP of Business Development, told Net Influencer the company enters a genre by securing its leading creator and then signing additional talent around that anchor.

“The goal for us is to go into new genres with the top personalities in each genre,” Peterson said. “Our goal is to become the leading media company in the entire Creator Economy.”
